radiator mounting questions

[LordBacon]

I want to use the NZXT Kraken X31 which has a radiator of 120mm. the case i am using has a rear fan that is 120mm. will these mounts be compatible in the case? i am getting a compatibility error on part picker but i don't think i am wrong.

no, it should work.

that is what i thought. i mean when you look up the kraken in that version it says 120mm. it specifically mentions that the fan is 120mm but the radiator should still have the same mounting points right?

i figured id ask here to double and triple check myself before i bought. i mean its not like its out of the realm of possibilities for me to mod the case myself. but id rather not.

It'll have the same mounting points, but all 120mm radiators are bigger than 120mm fans (due to the chamber for fittings and usually on other side's too depending on the rad) so make sure you've got clearance for the RAD to fit
